Correct, Dick! Ron Angel did indeed write one, and a very good one at that. It's called "The Iron Horse of Stockton" and the chorus goes:

"Come and see the wonderful Locomotion Number One,
The most amazing object that ever the sun shone on.
She's faster than a racehorse, stronger than a dray.
She only feeds on lumps of coal and eats a ton a day!"

Let me know if that's the sort of thing you're after and I'll post the rest of the song.
